A 3-Phase Approach for the Management of Upper Extremity Electrical Injuries.

The second phase of treatment consists of excising devitalized tissue, appropriate wound care to prevent delayed infection, providing temporary and definitive coverage over vital structures, and preventing contracture and joint stiffness via aggressive therapy. The final phase of treatment consists of sensorimotor functional reconstruction via nerve grafting and tendon transfers available based on patients' deficits and available redundant sources.
